Last night in Seattle went to Spamalot - the Monty Python musical based on The Quest for the Holy Grail.
In this version Lancelot turns out to be gay and marries a “princess” held captive by ...err...its...father who of course wants him/her to marry a girl. Towards the end of the show Lancelot, having just married this person, says “and just think in a thousand years this will be legal in Washington State”. The audience cheered loudly.
It was a great show, very funny, but I have to think that this gay marriage thing is here and not going away. And then this a.m. that guy broadcasting the Olympics...they’ve moved into the mainstream.
The audience cheering loudly indicates that many people either are in favor of homosexual marriage, or accept it as a fait accomplished, and thought it was a clever line to insert into the performance.
public opinion polls suggest that we have reached a tipping point on acceptance of homosexual marriage.
